How can you best support primary students?


If you’re a student with reading differences, reading comfortably in the classroom can seem like a fantasy. Early intervention is the best strategy to support your primary students who are not reading at levels expected for their age. Assistive technology gives students a foundation to build literacy skills and confidence, but what’s the right support?

What are scanning pens?


Your portable, cost-effective solution to providing one-to-one support in primary schools without the need for a human reader. These pocket-sized pens are easy to use, so you can start scanning right out of the box. Using text-to-speech technology, simply scan the pen over a word or line of text in a book and have it read aloud. It takes away the stress of learning and puts control in the hands of the user.

How assistive technology boosts primary reading comprehension


With assistive tech, the control is in your hands. Reading in the classroom is no longer something to fear. By having the words read aloud, students can efficiently decode, process and fully understand the text. Your recommended devices have seen amazing success in boosting both KS1 and KS2 reading comprehension as they give teachers a chance to meet students’ individual needs.

What about reading support in tests?
